Chapter 714: Fight to the Death

“Why should we hand over the Dragon-Controlling Token to you? Whether we are qualified to possess it seems to be none of your concern!”

“The treasures of our Yin Mountain Sect are not for you to take. Whether we are qualified to hold the Dragon Command has nothing to do with you!”

The burly man from the Yin Mountain Sect frowned slightly as he sensed the strength of the two individuals. As a peak innate realm expert, he actually felt a sense of dread, which spoke volumes about how formidable these two were.

“Anything that our Blood Spirit Clan sets its eyes on, we will obtain!”

One of them, with a sinister expression, flashed a strange smile. In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished from the spot. The burly man only felt a heavy pressure on his chest, and his steady steps were forced back two paces…

With a single strike, the peak innate realm expert of the Yin Mountain Sect was pushed back, and the Dragon Command, which had just returned to the burly man’s hands, had already changed ownership!

The Blood Spirit Clan! These three words were even more shocking than the Ancient Spirit Clan that Yan Zheng belonged to. A wave of murmurs swept through the crowd. Clearly, the Blood Spirit Clan did not have a good reputation in the ancient martial world of China, but their strength was undeniable.

Even the forces of the Guardian Temple could be challenged by the Yin Mountain Sect, but upon hearing that the latter were from the Blood Spirit Clan, they completely lost their nerve.

“Members of the Blood Spirit Clan are always sneaky and underhanded. What else can they do besides resorting to petty tricks?”

Yan Zheng couldn’t help but sneer at Yu Li’s decisive move. Although the Blood Spirit Clan had many strong experts this time, along with the Soul Spirit Clan, he was not the least bit intimidated.

“If we can easily obtain what we want, what does it matter if the methods are shady? The outcome is what truly matters. If all of your Ancient Spirit Clan members perish within the Dragon Sect’s legacy, I would be more than happy to take your Dragon Command as well!”

A cold glint flashed in Yu Li’s eyes as he noticed Yan Zheng. If the main force of the Blood Spirit Clan wasn’t currently focused on the emergence of the Yin-Yang Gate, he wouldn’t have just targeted the Yin Mountain Sect this time.

“Let’s see if you have the stomach for it. Yu Ya must be quite confident to let you lead the Blood Spirit Clan alone. If you suffer losses here, I’m sure your elder brother would be heartbroken.”

The crowd sensed the tension and instinctively took a few steps back. Xiao Yufan, however, watched the two with interest, seemingly deep in thought.

“No force in this world has ever caused our Blood Spirit Clan to suffer losses. You’d better worry about yourselves!”

“Is that so? Are you relying on the Soul Spirit Clan, a pack of dogs?”

Yan Zheng’s gaze shifted to another person as he sneered. His words instantly froze the atmosphere, and some even forgot about the Dragon Sect’s legacy.

“Yan Zheng, you’d better watch your mouth, or else…”

The Soul Spirit Clan member’s face turned icy as he directly addressed Yan Zheng. The Soul Spirit Clan was aligned with the Blood Spirit Clan, and many knew this. However, he would not tolerate anyone insulting their clan.

“Or else what? A slightly stronger dog can’t cause much of a stir. There are forces in this world that can keep your Soul Spirit Clan in check!”

At some point, Ning Mo had arrived by Yan Zheng’s side. Compared to a few days ago, his strength had improved even further.

“Good, very good. I didn’t expect the Thousand Spirit Clan to show up here. You must be afraid that our Blood Spirit Clan will pick you off one by one!”

Yu Li laughed instead of getting angry, as if he had known all along that the two clans were allied. Although they hadn’t clashed yet, everyone could sense that the enmity between them had reached a point of no return.

“Afraid? Not really. We just need to be cautious when the Blood Spirit Clan has an extra dog around…”

Ning Mo smiled, seemingly unfazed by Yu Li’s threat. Then he shifted his gaze and nodded toward Xiao Yufan and the two women behind him.

“I don’t have the patience to watch a good show. Since no one dares to enter, I, Guo Chen, will take the lead and explore the Dragon Sect’s legacy!”

While everyone’s attention was on Yan Zheng and the others, Guo Chen sneered and rushed toward the open gates of the Dragon Sect. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

This commotion had caused many to forget their main objective, and Guo Chen had taken the lead!

“Hmph, I hope you all come out unscathed. Otherwise, it would be too boring…”

Yu Li glanced at the Soul Spirit Clan member beside him, nodded, and then the two turned into streaks of light, disappearing into the gates of the Dragon Sect. The rest of the Blood Spirit Clan and Soul Spirit Clan members followed suit.

“Let’s go in as well. But once inside, everyone should act according to their abilities. If you sense anything wrong, leave immediately!”

Xiao Yufan gave a few instructions to the people behind him, then nodded slightly to Yan Wan Yu and Yan Zheng before turning and walking in. Although being the first to enter didn’t guarantee obtaining the legacy, it did provide a slight advantage.

As they entered the gates, a primordial aura washed over them. Xiao Yufan and the two women didn’t feel much, but the people behind Xie Yuan seemed to bear a heavy burden, their brows furrowed.

“Just this primordial aura alone is enough to deter many…” Xiao Yufan thought to himself, not offering much help to these people. If they couldn’t withstand the pressure of this aura, there was no point in continuing further.

The deeper they went, the more Xiao Yufan could feel a strange fluctuation within his body. The Dragon True Art seemed to have quieted down, but he could still sense that something within the Dragon Sect was calling to him.

“Weren’t there many people who entered earlier? Why don’t we see anyone now?”

After walking for a while, Xiao Yufan realized that he hadn’t seen a single person since entering the hall. Where had all the people who entered earlier gone? Could it be that this place was divided into many independent spaces? Otherwise, how could this be explained?

“The legacy passed down from the previous ancient martial era naturally has its mysteries. Perhaps the Dragon Sect itself is vast, and those who entered earlier have gone to different areas.”

Yu Xuan’s beautiful eyes swept across the hall as she spoke softly. Given her background, she likely knew quite a bit, at least enough to have some understanding of the Dragon Sect.

“That seems to be the only explanation for now.”

Xiao Yufan shrugged helplessly, not dwelling on the issue for too long. Since the Dragon Sect’s legacy had appeared, he couldn’t possibly leave empty-handed…

“What the Blood Spirit Clan desires, we shall obtain!”

One of them, wearing a sinister expression, revealed a strange smile. In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished. The stout man felt a sudden pressure on his chest and was forced to take two heavy steps backward…

“The treasures of our Yinshan Sect are not for you to take. Whether we are worthy of holding the Dragon Command has nothing to do with you!”

The burly man from Yinshan Sect frowned slightly as he sensed the strength of the two individuals before him. As a peak innate realm expert, he felt a sense of unease, which spoke volumes about the formidable power of these two.

“Anything that our Blood Spirit Clan sets its eyes on, we will obtain!”

One of them, with a sinister expression, flashed a strange smile. In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished from sight. The burly man felt a heavy pressure on his chest, and his steady steps were forced back two paces…

With a single strike, the peak innate realm expert from Yinshan Sect was pushed back, and the Dragon Command, which had just returned to his hand, was now in the possession of another.

The Blood Spirit Clan! These three words were even more shocking than the Ancient Spirit Clan that Yan Zheng belonged to. A wave of murmurs swept through the crowd. Clearly, the Blood Spirit Clan did not have a good reputation in the ancient martial world of China, but their strength was undeniable.

Even the forces of the Guardian Temple could be challenged by Yinshan Sect, but upon hearing that the newcomers were from the Blood Spirit Clan, they completely lost their nerve.

“Members of the Blood Spirit Clan are always sneaky and underhanded. What else can they do besides resorting to petty tricks?”

Yan Zheng couldn’t help but sneer at Yu Li’s decisive action. Although the Blood Spirit Clan had many strong experts this time, along with the Soul Spirit Clan, he showed no fear.

“If we can easily obtain what we want, what does it matter if our methods are underhanded? The outcome is what truly matters. If all of your Ancient Spirit Clan members perish within the Dragon Sect’s inheritance, I would be more than happy to take your Dragon Command as well!”

A cold glint flashed in Yu Li’s eyes as he noticed Yan Zheng. If the main forces of the Blood Spirit Clan weren’t currently focused on the emergence of the Yin-Yang Gate, he wouldn’t have limited his actions to just Yinshan Sect.

“Let’s see if you have the stomach for it. Yu Ya must be quite confident to let you lead the Blood Spirit Clan here alone. If you suffer losses here, I imagine your brother would be heartbroken.”

The tension in the air was palpable, and the crowd instinctively took a few steps back. Xiao Yufan, however, watched the two with interest, seemingly deep in thought.

“There is no force in this world that can cause our Blood Spirit Clan to suffer losses. You’d better worry about yourselves!”

“Is that so? Are you relying on the Soul Spirit Clan’s pack of dogs?”

Yan Zheng’s gaze shifted to another person as he spoke with a cold smile. The atmosphere instantly froze, and some even forgot about the Dragon Sect’s inheritance.

“Yan Zheng, you’d better watch your mouth, or else…”

The man from the Soul Spirit Clan’s face turned icy as he directed his words at Yan Zheng. It was well known that the Soul Spirit Clan stood with the Blood Spirit Clan, but he would not tolerate any insults to their clan.

“Or else what? A slightly stronger dog can’t cause much of a stir. There are still those in this world who can handle your Soul Spirit Clan.”

At some point, Ning Mo had arrived by Yan Zheng’s side. Compared to a few days ago, his strength had improved even further.

“Good, very good. I didn’t expect the Thousand Spirit Clan to show up here. I suppose you’re afraid that our Blood Spirit Clan will pick you off one by one.”

Yu Li laughed instead of getting angry, as if he had known all along that the two clans were allied. Although no blows had been exchanged, it was clear that the enmity between them had reached a point of no return.

“Afraid? Not quite. We just need to be cautious when the Blood Spirit Clan has an extra dog around…”

Ning Mo smiled, seemingly unfazed by Yu Li’s threats. Then his gaze shifted, nodding slightly toward Xiao Yufan and the two women behind him.

“I have no interest in watching a good show. Since no one dares to enter, I, Guo Chen, will take the lead and explore the Dragon Sect’s inheritance!”

While everyone’s attention was on Yan Zheng and the others, Guo Chen sneered and dashed toward the open gates of the Dragon Sect’s hall, disappearing from sight in an instant.

The commotion had caused many to forget their main objective, and Guo Chen had taken the lead.

“Hmph, I hope you all come out unscathed. Otherwise, it would be too dull…”

Yu Li glanced at the man from the Soul Spirit Clan beside him, nodded, and then the two transformed into streaks of light, disappearing into the Dragon Sect’s hall. The rest of the Blood Spirit Clan and Soul Spirit Clan members followed suit.

“Let’s go in as well. But once inside, everyone should act according to their abilities. If you sense anything wrong, leave immediately.”

Xiao Yufan gave a few instructions to those behind him, then nodded slightly to Yan Wan Yu and Yan Zheng before turning and entering the hall. Although being the first to enter didn’t guarantee obtaining the inheritance, it did provide a slight advantage.

As they stepped through the gates, a primal aura washed over them. Xiao Yufan and the two women felt little, but the few behind Xie Yuan seemed to bear a heavy burden, their brows furrowed.

“Just this primal aura alone is enough to deter many…” Xiao Yufan thought to himself, offering no assistance to the others. If they couldn’t withstand the pressure of this primal aura, there was no point in continuing further.

The deeper they went, the more Xiao Yufan felt a strange ripple within his body. The Dragon True Art seemed to have quieted down, but he could still sense that something within the Dragon Sect was calling to him.

“Weren’t there many people who entered before us? Why don’t we see anyone now?”

After walking for a while, Xiao Yufan realized that they hadn’t encountered a single person since entering the hall. Where had all those who entered earlier gone? Could it be that the hall was divided into separate spaces? How else could this be explained?

“The inheritance from the previous ancient martial era naturally has its mysteries. Perhaps the Dragon Sect itself is vast, and those who entered earlier have gone elsewhere.”

Yu Xuan’s beautiful eyes scanned the hall as she spoke softly. Given her background, she likely knew quite a bit, at least enough to have some understanding of the Dragon Sect.

“That seems to be the only explanation for now.”

Xiao Yufan shrugged helplessly, not dwelling on the issue for too long. Since the Dragon Sect’s inheritance had appeared, he couldn’t leave empty-handed…

Blood Spirit Clan! These three words carried even more weight than the Ancient Spirit Clan represented by Yan Zheng. A murmur rippled through the crowd. Clearly, the Blood Spirit Clan was infamous throughout the ancient martial cultivation world of China, yet their power was unquestionable.

Even though Yinshan Sect could rival the Guardians’ Temple, upon hearing that their opponents belonged to the Blood Spirit Clan, they lost all will to fight.

“People from the Blood Spirit Clan are nothing but thieves and tricksters. What else can they do besides resorting to underhanded tactics?”

Yan Zheng sneered coldly at Yu Li’s swift attack. Although this time the Blood Spirit Clan had brought many experts, even joined by members of the Soul Spirit Clan, he remained unshaken.

“If we can easily obtain what we desire, what does it matter if our methods are underhanded? The outcome is what truly matters. If every member of your Ancient Spirit Clan were to perish within the Dragon-Controlling Sect’s inheritance, I would be more than happy to claim your Dragon-Controlling Token as well!”

A glint of coldness flashed in Yu Li’s eyes as he noticed Yan Zheng. If it weren’t for the fact that the main forces of the Blood Spirit Clan were currently at the emergence site of the Yin Yang Sect, this time he wouldn’t have only targeted Yinshan Sect.

“We’ll see if you have the appetite for it. Yu Ya must be quite confident to let you come here alone with members of the Blood Spirit Clan. If something were to happen to you here, I wonder if your older brother would be heartbroken.”

A scent of gunpowder hung in the air as the crowd instinctively stepped back. Xiao Yufan watched the two with great interest, seemingly contemplating something.

“There hasn’t been a force in this world yet that could truly harm the Blood Spirit Clan. You should focus on yourselves instead!”

“Is that so? Are you relying on that pack of dogs from the Soul Spirit Clan?”

Yan Zheng shifted his gaze to the other person and sneered. As his words fell, the atmosphere on the scene instantly grew tense. Some people even forgot about the Dragon-Controlling Sect’s inheritance altogether.

“Yan Zheng, I suggest you watch your mouth, or else…”

The member of the Soul Spirit Clan’s face turned icy cold, directly confronting Yan Zheng. Although many knew that the Soul Spirit Clan stood on the side of the Blood Spirit Clan, he would not allow anyone to insult his clan.

“Otherwise, what can a slightly stronger dog do? There are still people in this world who can deal with your Soul Spirit Clan!”

At some point, Ning Mo had already arrived beside Yan Zheng. Compared to a few days ago, his strength had improved even further.

“Good, very good. I didn’t expect members of the Qianling Clan to show up here. I suppose you must be afraid that our Blood Spirit Clan will eliminate you all one by one.”

Yu Li did not get angry but instead laughed, as if he had known all along that the two clans had joined forces. Although no actual battle had taken place, everyone could sense the deep-rooted enmity between them had escalated to a life-or-death level.

“Fear is not quite the word. We just need to be cautious about a new dog joining the Blood Spirit Clan…”

Ning Mo smiled, seemingly unfazed by Yu Li’s threat. Then he shifted his gaze slightly, nodding toward Xiao Yufan and the two girls behind him.

“I don’t have the mood to watch this drama unfold. Since no one dares to go inside, I, Guo Chen, will be the first to explore the Dragon-Controlling Sect’s inheritance!”

As everyone’s attention was drawn to Yan Zheng and the others, Guo Chen sneered and dashed straight toward the open temple gate of the Dragon-Controlling Sect. In an instant, he disappeared from sight.

This commotion had caused many to forget their original purpose, allowing Guo Chen to seize the opportunity and go first!

“Hmph, I hope you can walk out unscathed. Otherwise, it would be too boring…”

Yu Li glanced at the member of the Soul Spirit Clan beside him, nodded, and then both of their figures transformed into streaks of light, vanishing directly into the temple gate of the Dragon-Controlling Sect. The other members of the Blood Spirit and Soul Spirit Clans followed closely behind.

“Let’s go in as well. Once inside, everyone must act according to their abilities. If you sense any danger, leave immediately!”

Xiao Yufan gave a few instructions to those behind him, then nodded slightly toward Yan Zheng and the others before turning and walking inside. Although the first to enter might not necessarily obtain the inheritance, at least they would have a slight advantage.

As the temple gate was crossed, a primeval aura rushed toward them. Xiao Yufan and the two girls behind him were not particularly affected, but the few people following Master Xie seemed to suffer a heavy impact, their brows furrowing tightly.

“Just this primeval aura alone is enough to deter many people…” Xiao Yufan mused inwardly. He did not offer much help to these people. If they could not withstand even the pressure of this ancient aura, then continuing forward would be meaningless.

The deeper they walked, the more Xiao Yufan felt a strange resonance within his body. Although the True Dragon-Controlling Technique seemed to have quieted down, he could still sense that something within the Dragon-Controlling Sect was calling to him.

“There were so many people who entered before us, why can’t we see anyone now?”

After walking for a while, Xiao Yufan noticed that not a single person was in sight. Where had those who entered the temple earlier gone? Unless this place was divided into many separate spaces, there would be no other explanation.

“Relics passed down from the previous ancient martial era naturally possess their own mysteries. Perhaps the Dragon-Controlling Sect itself is vast, and those who entered before us have simply wandered off in different directions!”

Yu Xuan scanned the entire hall with her beautiful eyes before softly explaining. Given her identity, she likely knew quite a bit, at least more than most about the Dragon-Controlling Sect.

“It seems that’s the only explanation for now!”

Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yufan did not dwell on the issue for long. Now that the inheritance of the Dragon-Controlling Sect had appeared, he was determined not to leave empty-handed…
